Watson in Space

In June, German astronaut Alexander Gerst will embark on his second six-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS), serving as station commander in the second half of his stay. On this mission, Gerst and his team will receive some unusual support: CIMON (Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) will be on board – a medicine ball-sized device, weighing about 11-pounds. CIMON’s digital face, voice and use of artificial intelligence make it a “colleague” to the crew members. Using IBM’s Watson technology, CIMON, will help astronaut Gerst to perform three tasks: Together they will experiment with crystals, solve the Rubik magic cube based on videos and conduct a complex medical experiment using CIMON as an ‘intelligent’ flying camera.

Sophie Richter-Mendau joined IBM in 2013 when she did her Bachelor of Arts in International Business Administration. Today, she consults companies as a Technical Sales Specialist for Analytics and AI Solutions at IBM and had the possibility to work on several customer projects, where she just recently designed the personality and voice interaction system of the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion (CIMON) to assist astronauts on the International Space Station. Besides, Sophie is just about to finish her Master of Science in Business Psychology at the Nordakademie Graduate School in Hamburg, researching on future trends of human-machine-interaction and the benefits of using psychometrical tests in business applications.

Christer Fuglesang is a Swedish physicist and an ESA astronaut. He was first launched aboard the STS-116 Space Shuttle mission on December 10, 2006, making him the first Swedish citizen in space.
He was a Fellow at CERN and taught mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology before being selected to join the European Astronaut Corps in 1992. He has participated in two Space Shuttle missions and five spacewalks, and is the first person outside of the United States or Russian space programs to participate in more than three spacewalks.
